WEDNESDAY February 04, 2004 Attendant's bombshell leads to groom's arrest
By Ashley Broughton The Salt Lake Tribune
Instead of riding into the sunset with his beloved, a wayward groom earned a trip to the Davis County Jail on his wedding day after a brawl between the bride-to-be and the honor attendant, Centerville police said. About 12:15 p.m. Saturday, the bride, 20, her mother and the attendant went to the Centerville Target store to buy makeup for the wedding later that day, Lt. Paul Child said. The three were still in the parking lot, police said, when the honor attendant told the bride she had slept with the groom the night before. "Obviously, this was upsetting to the bride-to-be," who assaulted the attendant, Child said. Officers were called on a report of a fight in progress, and cited the bride for assault. Afterward, the upset bride told police she "wanted to have a little chat" with the groom. "We decided it would be best to have an officer accompany her," Child said. When officers contacted the 19-year-old groom, they discovered he had several warrants for his arrest, including a $10,000 bench warrant issued out of 3rd District Court for failure to appear, Child said. He was arrested and taken to jail. Child said he did not believe the bride ever got the opportunity to speak to the groom about the matter. And the honor attendant, who lives in St. George, was "stranded," he said. Was the wedding canceled? "I can only assume so," Child said.

I love that part!! It really sets the atmosphere!!
Free the bride! She had reason to beat that bridesmaid up!
The one on the left is Ricky Williams -- the cover was supposed to symbolize being "married" to Mike Ditka when they were both with the New Orleans Saints. Dennis Rodman is on the right, and when he had his first book out, he announced he was getting married -- to himself!
